ETA: I like the idea of Anne Hathaway as Stephanie...but how about Jennifer Garner?

Oh, yes, aesthetically Henry Cavill is perfect. I know nothing about him as an actor (though for some reason I seem to remember his name coming up as the actor that Stephenie Meyer originally wanted to play Edward in Twilight but then he got too old), but looks-wise he fits the bill to a T.
Anne Hathaway I can see in terms of kookiness but looks-wise I don't see her as Stephanie. I like the suggestion of Jennifer Garner. Jill Hennessy would have been interesting.

Re: Stephanie Plum novels to be movie

I don't know about Shemar Moore as Ranger because Ranger is more hispanic and I'd be thinking about that the whole time I was watching him.

Who would play Tank? I can't really think of anyone off the top of my head...

Yeah. Shemar Moore is cute, but he's not Ranger. Ranger is brooding and mysterious and Hispanic....and tall. I only know Shemar from The Young and the Restless and he was none of those things. He's just too open and smiley to be Ranger.

I sort of feel like there's almost no point to discussing the rest of the cast, because if they screw up with the casting of Stephanie, then it doesn't matter. If KH plays her, the movie's going to stink.

I think Shiri Applebee would be a good Stephanie, but she's probably not enough of a name.

I was thinking of the immortal words of Socrates, who said, "... I drank what?"

Re: Stephanie Plum novels to be movie

I just looked up Shiri and she's really cute, I remember her as the timid doctor on ER.
KH lovers might come out to see the movie, it might be nice to have unknowns play the roles.
As for Joyce I always see her as a young, redheaded Kristen Stewart - you know she could blow the doors off Joyce!

I don't think Shemar is too dark to play Ranger - he's described as a dark Cuban American. I'd buy it... if he were younger

I think she would make a GREAT Stephanie!

Have they already cast the others? I went to IMDB, and they have some interesting actors listed, but since they have the lead wrong, I figure none of that matters.
Why has it taken so long to get this movie made? Anyone know the scoop?

Interesting. If you check out IMDB it looks like they had a 2002 TV movie in the works with Tyler Christopher (Nikolas, GH) as Morelli. Um, no . I just hope the movie gets made, Katherine Hiegl or not! I love the books, and I'd really like to see what they do with them. Plus, as a former Jersey girl who grew up 15 minutes outside of Trenton, I'm curious to see if they get it right. So, as much as I think KH is all wrong for Stephanie, I'll reserve judgement until I see her with dark hair and a Jersey accent Frankly, I like Reese Witherspoon, but she was originally tagged for Stephanie and I think she's an even worse casting choice.

Ahhhh, that explains it. See, if you watched Criminal Minds you'd get plenty of brooding, mysterious Shemar But actually, you're probably right (Though Shemar could probably pull off Hispanicish). For years, Sandra Bullock and The Rock have been Stephanie and Ranger to me (I love to "cast" books when I read them, kind of a habit) But, they're both way past the time when they would have been perfect. And truthfully, I guess Shemar is too old too....but he sure is fine to look at

So what are we thinking here, Stephanie and Joe have to be mid 20's? late 20's? They were in school together so he can't be a lot older...plus in the famous looking up her dress scene as kids... Too much older and it's weird. I can see Ranger being a bit older....
And Ranger is dark...and they never talk about him having straight hair, my image is he definitely is a Cuban with a little Afro mixed in---that's the thing about Cubans they can be anything from blonde to very, very dark. And he doesn't make a deal about being Hispanic, not always tossing around Spanish phrases, no accent... he calls her babe not querida...so Shemar could pull it off. Except I guess for the age thing....
